That is Khabib's first top 5 win

[MMA Savant]

Congratulations to him.

He beat RDA before he was good and was only ranked #5 (which is 6th when you count the champ).

He needs to get another top 5 win before getting a shot at the Champ Champ.

Bum rush in like that and you'll get stiffened quick smart. Mendes has better wrestling than Khabib and Conor stuffed most of his takedowns on 1 leg.

Let me guess you picked Edson via guillotine in the first?

He beat RDA. What the fuck are you talking about? RDA is more than just Top 5.

Why is this forum so shitty after a big fight?
All the noobs crawl out of their mancaves.

 

[Rod Farva]

I think he passed the test

So it doesn't matter when he beat RDA? Doesn't work that way sunshine. If that was the case then Assuncao is a better WW than Masvidal.

It's just context, RDA came into his own and turned into the beast he is these days after the Khabib loss. He wasn't top five when they fought.

He made it look easy. The man took zero damage.

RDA was on a 5 fight winstreak when he fought Khabib and he was ranked fringe Top 5, and was champion.
At least check your facts

Also lol how does the UFC's rankings matter all of a sudden? We usually all agree that these rankings are full of shit.

 

[Loko3]

Didn’t RDA go on a 7 fight win streak and get the title after losing to Khabib? When was RDA good exactly?

RDA was on a 5 fight winstreak when he fought Khabib and he was ranked fringe Top 5, and now he's champion.

In 2014 when Khabib and RDA fought the vast majority of sites had RDA ranked outside of the top five. Some even had Khabib ranked above him.

Don't feed the troll

Facts = trolling?

Where is the troll? It is an undisputed FACT!

 

[ExitLUPin]

Conor had no top 5 wins before fighting Chad for the IC

Chad was his only top 5 win before fighting Aldo for the undisputed title

he had 0 top 5 wins @ 155 before fighting Eddie as well

this is the UFC............since when did top 5 wins mean anything in fighting for a title/

ah that "champ champ" that lost to a 11 losses top 15 guy, nearly 2 times. the "champ champ" who needed a 300k training camp against a nate diaz (11 losses) rematch. ok.
